Has anyone ever made a diaper cake? Cause I need HELP!!!!

[Ashley_EMCBTS]

I make them all the time. What do you need help with?

[lhart24]

I have also made them... are you looking for instructions, supply list, someone to do it??

[mommyhope]

Here is my first question:
Do you roll you diapers individually and then group them together
OR
Do you layer them in a circle?

I think that I have seen them both and I am not sure wich one is going to look more professional.

TIA

Freebies 4 Mom: My $10 Diaper Cake I'm stowing this idea away. I'd never seen it done with pampers. I like the idea! Not every one uses cloth diapers. And pampers are much cheaper!

I made a diaper cake with cloth diapers that you layered them in a circle. I suppose you could do that too with pampers.

Here's instructions that might help.

How to make a Diaper Cake

[lhart24]

I found it was easier.. especially if this is your first.. to roll each diaper and arrange in a circle..

Each individual diaper I put a rubber band on.. then take a long ribbon and tie them together in a circle... Get some cardboard cutouts in the size of circle you want... this will help provide some support to the cake... I know some cake places sell them... They are just cardboard circles... So you could make your own too..

You ladies ROCK!!! I will post pics when I have finished.

My friend made us one for our baby shower. I would post a pic but our computer crashed a week ago and we haven't put our pics back on.

I would love to see others pics if you didn't mind sharing!

I love making the Baby Cakes. I don't use diapers but I use recieving blankets (something that corresponds to there theme) and baby towels. I fold them in thirds and keep wrapping them till I have the size I need, I make three different sizes and use baby safety pins to hold everything together. Then I buy small items to decorate on the outside like pacifiers, mittens, rattles, bibs, trial size lotions and powders, small shoes, etc. and they are attached buy coordinating ribbons. I always try to make each one better than the last time.
ANOTHER great idea that I saw but have not done-buy the clear shoe rack that hangs on your door and put small items in each pocket. Like shoes, lotions, etc. and wrap them in coordination tissue paper. I saw this at a baby shower I went to and it was soooo cute; I'll do this the next time I have a baby shower to attend. Very simple idea.

Well the cake came out great!! I was so supper happy. I still haven't figured out how to post a pic so you guys just have to take my word for it.

Those are a great idea. I have always wondered what the heck a diaper cake is. But I would definately consider doing this...and will keep this in mind for when my sis has a baby. Thanks for the pics.

I just wanted to say how cute your Robbie smiley is...too funny

[kandikid82]

I found this thread and I figured I'd give it a try.

[FreebieMama]

Steph, that's beautiful! I love the colors you choose!

[Pixiefc]

Oh wow....that is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[Mom2ThreeLovesCVS]

Aw, Kandikid, that's adorable! And, I love that you used the Wags diapers that were so cheap this week! I made a little one for my sons teacher as an end of the year gift, she's due in August. It consisted of mostly free items from CVS! Gotta love those baby freebies! I took a pic of it, but I'd never in a million years figure out how to post it on here. Sorry!

Should be done!
